Operating systems

avt is a collection of command line tools for aviation. They allow you to get METARs, TAFs, sunrise and sunset, and geo info, and decode IATA/ICAO airports, airline codes, aircraft tail codes, and aircraft names.

metaf2xml can download, parse, and decode aviation routine weather reports (METAR, SPECI, SAO), aerodrome forecasts (TAF), synoptic observations (SYNOP), and BUOY observations, and store the data as XML. XSLT style sheets convert it to plain language, as HTML or text. Current weather data from NOAA and other sources can be fetched and displayed.
